<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm investigating the performance of a few different direct solvers and I'd like to compare the memory requirements of the different solvers and orderings. I am especially interested in the memory usage necessary to store the factored matrix. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I experimented with the PetscMemoryGetCurrentUsage and PetscMemoryGetMaximumUsage before and after KSPSolve. But these seem to return the memory usage on 1 process and not the total memory usage. Is this correct? <span style="font-size: 10pt;">I also noticed
that the difference in maximum memory usage is very small before and after KSPSolve. Does it register the memory usage in external packages?</span></div>
